Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Just a quick question,

Can you remove Text Labels on the bars in P5??

I have just been given P5 and so I’m basically trying it out and getting it to perform the functions we want as a company.

Just discovered that they have a seperate bar selection for Current Bar Labels - Followed your instructions and deleted the text field. Thanks for the help!!

Why two seperate bar formats for the same bar is beyond me but heh!!!

after going into: view-bars, you need to select the appropriate bar type from the list. Each bar can have different labels, in your case you want to select remaining work and the summary bar.

That sounds very odd indeed. What type of bar is it? i.e remaining work, actual work, critical activity etc.

Thanks, but there is nothing in the folder to delete - the bar has the activity description following it and I can’t find how to remove it!

On the tool bar go to: view - bars - bar labels. Delete anything you don’t want.
